lar exercise in the opee,o air every d9v.
and that eXercis~. shonId NOT he n TIC,
Al'.eoie y : u work, but of recreation.
:. As rule, housekeepers need to
eat more, of simple food. If the food
is simpler, less time will be needed in
It's preparation, and what it lacks in
unwholesome richness and unneces-
sary variety, it will gain in nutriment
and digestibility. The result will be

the routine work of housekeeping and
more to relaxation and recreation.
AL that 1.-The best of wives" did not
do, and for the lack of which she be-
came an inmate of an insane asylum,
the housekeeper ought to do. The
woman who ''always stays at home, :"
who 'never goes out of the house,
even on Sundays" and who is "al-
ways doing something for her fam
ily," not only will have mo ideas
outside of her home" but will soon
come to have none even there.
The short of the matter is, that wo-
men if they desire good health must
not be confined SO closely to the cares
Of the household. | know that many
women viii look upon this advice as
absurd, and will say, 1T is all very
easy for you to preach, but quite an
other thing for US to practice. A wo-
mans duties involve a multitude of
little things, the Importance of which
man never realizes until they are
omitted, and then he is the first to
find fault. These things must be done.
| cannot stop, | cannot find time to
take out-of-door exercise and visit my
neighbors."
Nevertheless, the fact remains, that
when serious illness comes to the
mistress of the house, the wheels of
the treadmill cease to revolve, at least
for her. Then the work either stops
entirely, or goes on under other
hands, and is cared for by other heads.
The question is pertinent one, would
1t not be better to do less work while
IN health, and thus avoid the sickness?
And even hired help is less expensive
than medical attendance. The old
maxim, "A stitch in time saves nine"
and IAN ounceof prevention is worth
a pound of cure" are worthy of con-
sideration in this connection. - Good

the LITTLE INN In Green.

The peasant folk of Ireland find an
infinite attraction in searching for the
leprechaun. As far as the analogy of
the leprechaun is concerned, says the
st Louis Glote-Degqocr,Jt, il is . creature
framed to taunt the human thirst for
gold, in the same manner as the pro-
verable delusion known by every
American schoolbOy. which asserts
hangs d pot of gold. The leprechaun
is a cute little fellow, not an inch more
than twelve inches high, who dances
and fits through the meadows like a
fitful sunbeam. He wears a little green
coat, and gay red vest, and the short
est and frailest cut pantaloons. He is
commonly supposed to be able to lead
one to FL Dorado, where wealth is in
finite and free Tor the taking. Whether
any person has ever been actually con-

suddenly appearing before a peasant,
perhaps workingin in his vegetable patch,
the tlashily attn ed little villain smiles
and cries out:
Come along, and I'll take you to
endless treasure.
Over brook, through dale, up over
hills, by deep bogs, the leprechaun and
his painting companion flee with tireless
eager step. Try how he will to elude
his follower and escape, the leprechaun
finds his feet close behind. Every other
device having failed, the leprechaun
wheels around and shouts:
.WeIl, here we are.
'Where?" his companion eagerly
cries.
'At the place of all the treasure" ="
but where is the gold you promised
me?"
Right behind you," replies the lep-
rechaun, and as his companion looks
around suddenly disappears and is
seen no more.

Got Things Slightly Mixed.

There's one laboring-man in Wash
ington who has resumed at the old
stand, and says that he has made his
last strike. He's a good fellow, but
likes a glass now and then, and not
long since he filled up and called on
his employer.

Earthquake Experiences.

wlshto say word or two more con-
corning that sense of something like
personal ferocity in the power which
laid hold of us, which have confessed
to receiving from the first and longest
OF the earthquake shocks, 1t after
wards appeared that everybody who
was cool enough closely to observe his
own sensations had experienced much
the same thing. One Englishman,
who arrived few days later from
stricken Mentone. and who seemed TO
cherish fresh and tender recollections of
his school-days, compared his feelings to
those of a boy whom the master seizes
and shakes violently, by the way of
prelude to a flogging. To another oc-

would shake off all its fruit. One and
all had the sensation of being laid hold
of by some ruthless and monstrous
tndigjdmG!lty, much like the feeling.

three or four days, days of the most
serene and surprising lOveliness, when
we used to go out upon the dry hillside,
and lie down for a little under the
olives, in the hope of catching a few
moments of thoroughly sweet and un-
tormented slumber,-I had ever the
notion that 1t was lying under me, with
vast limbs gradually relaxing from
their awful spasm, and | could have
sworn at times that my messy couch
trembled little, as with the long

no difference how high we climbed.
Up even to the almost Alpine heights
above the olive, where one could take
in the whole sweep of that enchanting
littoral, from the Esterel to far below

fancy pursued us,-that of an immense.
unknowable, and malignant power
which had made all those miles and
miles of sweeping land to f1utter like

new sympathy with the pagan Creek

Then pair Of frank, childish, star
like eyes lifted suddenly, and May,
| meeting their glance, advanced with a
smile, her languid afianoed beside
her.
Forgive US for interrupting you in

we saw you from the stile May I tell

laughing glance at Jack, who made
his choicest bow, and barred a we'll
set head, on which grew a wealth of
shining silken hair, that perfectly
matched with his heavy blonde NOUS
tache.
The girl sprang impulsively to her
feet, scattering her gatherings.
Il am so glad you came, she said
in a clear fresh voice, as full of music
as birds. .'Lionel and were wish
ing we knew somebody here; 1t is so

An hour was spent under the chest

and through the cool shady lanes that
led thither in the vicinity, arranged
for the morrow.
And when May and Jack walked

An Empty Nest.

A grave old man and maiden fair
Walked together at early morn;
The thrushes mp in the clear cool air
Sang to the farmer planting mis- corn.
And o! how sweet was the fresh turned
mould.
And o, how fair were the budding trees!
For daisy silver and daffOdils gold
Were full OF the happy honey bees.
"Ah, ook. there's an empty nest" she said;
And wonder where sing the last years
birds?'
Then the old man quickly raised his head,
Though scarcely he noted her musing words;
He tore the nest from the swaying tree,
He flung to the winds its moss and hay,
And said: when an empty nest you see,
Be sure that you throw it far away"
"Ru5 why?" she asked with sorrowing
face
Why may not the pretty home abide?"
"Because'' he answered, twill be a place
In which the worm and the slug will hide.
Last year twas fair enough in its way,
1t was fun OF love and merry with song;
But days that are gone must not spoil to-day,
Nor dead joys do the living joys wrong"
The maiden heard with a thoughtful face
Her first false love had gone far away
And she thought Is my heart become a
place
For anger. and grief, and hate to stay?
Down, heart, with thy sad, foTsaken nest!
Fling far the selfish and idle pain.
The love that is ours is always the best;
And she went with smile TO her work again.

4 HAPPY EXCHANGE.

under that big chestnut tree. VIII

ed Jack Hammond Iazily. Don't
know who they are, and never could
endure to intrude on strangers. l
don't think they want us, do vOu?"
1ou think them lovers" said Miss
May Carol, with curl of her pretty
lip; ''well. if they are, no doubt they
see enough of each other to be bored
half to death. You may 90 back if
you ike, but I'm going to scrape ac-
quaintance with that pretty girl"
lawfully bad form" Jack answer
ed, in his indolent but musical voice,
as he lounged to the stile to help Nav
over. But if you'll present me, I'll
follow as rapidly as the law of my be-
ing will allow"
And he did follow; for Mays light
foot scarcely seemed to touch the grass
over which it sped, as she went
through the glad golden sunlight of
an October day, toward the fate which
had been sent to meet her in the Sc
rene dullness Of the country, to which
her physician had banished her in
July.
Under the wide-spreading branches
of a massive chestnut tree, were seau-
ed the two whom she had seen as she
sauntered slowly through the neigh
boring field with her tiance. who had
come to board at a farmhouse near,
as in duty bound, when freed from his
desk in the city for a few weeks; and
who had yawned more, IN the fort
night he spent there, than in the whole
of his previous existence.
Through an opening in the boughs
above, broad lance of sunlight fell
on the upturned olive face of a young
man, who lay in the grass, supremely
at ease. his hands clasped under his
head, his long limbs stretched out. a
soft felt hat lying near. filed with a
mass Of yellow, crimson, and brown
heoked leaves. which, evidently, his
companion had gathered, for her own
lap was full of similar beauty, and she
was reading aloud from a book of
poems.
isn't she pretty?" May thought. as
she looked at the dainty delicate out
lines of the sweet dOwnbent face, as
hower-fair as any her eyes had rested
on, with the dew Of life's early morn
inc on its beauty.
Then Mays light step paused, for it
did seem too bad to interrupt the
clear softyoice that read such tender
words:

preparing to run for governor, others
that he was working up presidential

boldly asked the secretary what he was
doing in Mansfield. 1t happened that on
that day Sherman had contracted with
a man 10 repair some fences on his
place, so he told the reporter that he
had come to Mansfield to look after his
